DISPOSITION OF CURIOSITY BRANDS, LLC AND RELATED AGREEMENTS DISPOSITION OF CURIOSITY BRANDS, LLC AND RELATED AGREEMENTS
On June 30, 2026, the Company disposed of the financial and intangible assets related to its Curiosity University, Curiosity Audio, and Catholic Stream brands, representing the Company's educational lifelong-learning, audio-format, and faith-based content offerings, respectively, to an unrelated third party (the “Buyer”) for $0.3 million. To effect the disposition, the Company contributed the assets to a newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary, Curiosity Brands, LLC (“Curiosity Brands”), and the Buyer then acquired 100% of Curiosity Brands’ membership interests. The purchase price is receivable in two equal installments with the first installment due no later than December 31, 2026, and the second installment due no later than June 30, 2027. The purchase price receivable was recognized within Other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The Company derecognized the net assets disposed of and recognized a loss on disposal of approximately $0.2 million, representing the excess of the net book value of the assets transferred over the consideration received, which is reflected within General and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Concurrently with the disposition, the Company entered into a long-term content license agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Curiosity Brands for $10 million, payable in four annual installments of $2.5 million beginning June 30, 2027, and a Distribution and Services Agreement (the “Service Agreement”) under which the Company will earn a fee equal to 10% of Curiosity Brands' net revenue for providing certain operational and distribution services. Because the License Agreement provides Curiosity Brands a significant financing benefit, the Company recorded the related receivable at its present value, discounted at 7.0%, representing the estimated rate that would be reflected in a separate financing transaction between the Company and the customer at contract inception, resulting in licensing revenue of $8.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. Interest income associated with the accretion of the licensing fee receivable will be recorded within Interest and other income (expense) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, commencing in the third quarter of 2026.

The Company evaluated the license fee receivable under ASC 326 and concluded no allowance for credit losses was required as of June 30, 2026, based on Curiosity Brands projected cash flows, and contractual protections available to the Company in the event of a payment default.
